Just like High school

Every school has the jocks. They all have the popular crowd, along with the emos. You can find the deperste wannabes on every corner you turn, whereas the nerds stay confined to the library. My point being, every school is crawling with cliques. Most people are begging to fit into certain ones as well. Your only suppposed to be friends with the friends in your clique and your forbidden to associate with anyone outside of your group. You are assigned to these cliques when you are in elementary school, you just don't realize until you no longer have assigned seats in lunch, and you get to sit wherever you desire in the classroom. The problem with middle school is that it's becoming more and more like high school as the years go by. Kids are maturing too quickly and giving into the temptations of the world. The good girls begin to be labeled as "s***s" and "w****s" because they madeout with a guy they barely know the weekend before. People get judged, and they're going to be hurt. Then, they will be hurt agian. It's the way life works, despite what your teachers tell you in pre-school. The "big kids" are going to be mean and hurt you with their words. they can destroy you physically, mentally, and emotionally. At some points, it may feel like all hope is lost, and that things will never get better. But they will. Maybe not today, and mabye not tomorrow, but eventually. Only time can tell. Middle school has it's faults, but it also has it's oppurtunities. I think that's what most people fail to realize.

Somewhere lost in between the cliques, lies me. The popular cheerleader jock. The nerd. The emo. Who desperately wanted to fit in. I was everything. I was everyone at the same time. Everyone got along with me, and liked me for the most part.

Entering middle school, I was scared to death. I was terrified of what would become of it. With good intentions, I realize now. But I told myself, that I would never let it define me. Nor would I ever let people get me down, or take me to their level. I haven't exactly stuck to my rules unfortunately, as you will later learn. I have stories to tell, and lies to reveal. My middle school journey begins.. now.

When I used the term "emos" I am using slang for emotionals. aka: the cutters. The suicidal and the depressed.
thank you for your feedback and advice.

I think this is a very wise decision to join this site and start connecting and getting feedback from creative, more experienced folks in life. I support you in your new ventures... here, middle school, and wherever else you choose to journey... which are all to me both the playgrounds and schools of life. My advice to you at this point is to pay attention to your own feelings/energies and be guided by and learn from them, rather than by others so much.

I have not heard of emos before this... I guess it's been a while since I was in middle school... maybe you can enlighten me??? :)
